samba help

[Holmes, Steve]

When someone says "it worked last week or yesterday but now it doesn't", I
always ask what changed? Did anything change on your system with regards to
configs?  What happens when the systems are rebooted?  Are your win boxes
win NT or 9X class machines?  If none of the windows boxes run NT, you might
consider making the Linux box the master browser.  Just uncomment the master
browser deal in the config file.  Read the comments that come with the Samba
config example; there is a wealth of information there.  I use Samba at home
and it works quite well with what is nearly a default taken from the
examples.  I don't use the linux printer stuff and I am more into having
shared disk space and home directories for individual users.

Hope this helps.

ok, this is probably the wrong list for this but I am subscribed to this
one and you guys might be able to help. 

On with the problem:


I have a samba server setup and a network of win machines. When I try to
access the smb box from one of the windows machines I get the error that
the computer is unreachable because the network is busy. 
This server worked last week and won't now, I really don't know why. 
This is my smb config file:
My ip address is : 172.16.201.206 the client ip is the same except .215
